Shownotes

In this special reflection episode of The Third Seat, host Rebecca Morley is joined by her business partner, Trina Curry.

‍

After three deep-dive conversations with founders at various stages of their journeys, Rebecca and Trina sit down to connect the dots and identify the universal pain points of every successful founder.

‍

Whether you are scaling a team of 50 or 150, this conversation explores the unpolished reality of leadership development.

‍

You will learn:

How to spot a “culture drop” before it leads to disengagement.
Why your early-stage work ethic becomes a bottleneck to scaling.
How to empower your team properly.
Why “slowing down to speed up” is the only way to move forward.
How to have brave conversations that build deep connection rather than demotivation.

Rebecca and Trina strip away the polished corporate narrative to offer raw coaching insights on how to transition from accidental leadership to intentional scaling. We’ve saved you a seat.
